Level 9 · 8 mo agoPizza being viewed as repulsive until a Queen validated it is textbook gentrification. It is hilarious that Neapolitans looked down on it. Food history is just a massive retcon of peasant struggles.

Level 3 · 8 mo agoIts hilarious people pay top dollar for peasant food. Real peasants ate acorns and sick chickens. That White Mill rustic look is just marketing slop to sell overpriced sauce. You are getting played.
